The Eugene Tree Foundation, in <br /> cooperation with the City of Eugene, will be planting new trees this <br /> winter in the park strip or public right -of -way along your street. <br /> Funds to purchase, plant, and provide initial care for these trees <br /> are being provided by the City. <br /> Within the next few weeks, the park strip adjacent to your business <br /> will be inspected to determine soil Type, width of the planting area, <br /> and location of utilities. (Where park strips are currently covered <br /> with concrete, appropriate planting sites will be identified and the <br /> concrete will be later.) Based on this information, the trees <br /> which will perform best at your site will be selected, from the City's <br /> Approved.$treet Tree List. If you wish, you may contact our office <br /> to select which tree from this group you prefer_. to have planted. If <br /> we do not hear from you, a suitable tree species will, be selected <br /> from this list by our staff. <br /> New trees will be planted later this winter by Eugene Tree Foundation <br /> volunteers while the trees are still dormant and have the stfongest <br /> chance of surviving transplanting. Watering is provided by the City <br /> for the first three years of a new tree's life. However, if your <br /> park strip' is already irrigated, kindly let us know so the City can <br /> use.its resources to provide better care for trees in other locations. <br /> If you have a preference of tree species to'be planted, please contact <br /> us no later than January 15th so that we can arrange for the appropriate <br /> species to be purchased. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> John Kline, President <br /> Dennis Lueck, Tree Planting Coordinator <br /> Board Members: Jonathan Brandt, Terri Harding, John Kline, Dennis Lueck, Jerry Oltion <br /> Eugene Tree Foundation P.
